Rate your communication skills from 1-10 with proper examples backing your given rating.
Provide an honest rating for your communication skills. Tell your interviewer a story from your professional past that highlights your ability to communicate effectively.
"I rate my communication skills as a 9/10. My manager and current team will attest to my clear and concise communication skills. For example, I let everyone on my team know I prefer direct communication and am open to questions if they feel there is anything unclear about the direction I set or our current plan of action."
"I believe there is always room to improve communication skills, so for that reason, I will rate myself as an 8/10. I have not received any complaints about my communication abilities and am quite proud of my oral and written communication skills. For example, I have been selected several times by my current management to develop and give our quarterly presentation that highlights our team's accomplishments."
Remember to demonstrate humility in your response. A rating of 10 in communication should be a rare response reserved for candidates with formal training in communication or similar experience.
"I rate my communication skills a 7 out of 10. I feel I am a strong communicator, but I lack experience with enterprise-level communication. I feel confident I will be able to leverage the skills I do have to become an effective corporate communicator quickly."
Community answers are written by other candidates practicing this set. Reading how others frame the same question is one of the fastest ways to sharpen your own.

I am more than capable of communicating my findings in a professional and academic manner, and I never had an issue expressing my thoughts or opinion on any subject. I have actually been selected multiple times before to develop report templates that my graduate colleagues can use as a starting point to report on their findings, and that I’m proud of as a non-native speaker.
